There are plenty of really interesting projects happening now in crypto/decentralziation. The thing is, it takes both skill and a lot of luck to spot the good ones. Even if you invest in something that's objectively great, it doesn't necessarly mean it will catch up with the popular and deliver massive gains.

Most people do not have the skill or LUCKY to find the promising coins. We can only invest the long standing coins, but they may die in any minute.

I got into Bitcoin when the prices reached $800. I was very lucky afterwards that this prices was to high for me and I did not buy Bitcoins at this time. Instead, I hoped to get into next Bitcoin and invested into Nxt what made me not rich but gave me some considerably wealth too. What I want to say is that there are always chances to make good money if you really get into promising coins.

Some altcoins had the potential for enormous profits but many also had the potential for enormous losses. While Bitcoin's price rose by 90 times in 2013, Litecoin's went up by nearly 600 times. Someone who had invested $13 into BTC in the beginning of 2013 and exchanged it for NXT while the IPO was still open would have been $5 million better off at one point.

Compare this to 2012 when the BTC price only rose from $5 to $13 by the year's end. Not many opportunities were to be had there. The same is also probably true for 2015. If BTC does become truly mainstream then those who wait patiently today might eventually see very large returns in the future. Just like how those who had waited and held onto their coins in 2012 would have seen enormous returns in the following year.

How come OP is "anonymous" and has no profile? Just realized when I tried to click on his nickname, but there's nothing... interesting.

Apparently, he was an infamous troll and got banned and his user account removed.

Look up the user names Atlas, Jon, Immanuel Go, Ragnar, ALPHA, anonymous, Boss and you'll see most of his threads. He had more nicks than hookers have tricks.

Well that explains it. Previously I used to think that the forums supported anonymous/guest posting and OP was one of such users. Strange that they would actually go so far as to delete the account though.

Well, if it helps... Just imagine how you guys will be feeling if you got out of the game now only to discover, in 2 years or so, that Bitcoin has gone up to $5000 or something. Always keep in mind that things may turn around!

This has to be the hope.

I unfortunately started buying around April/May 2014.
I'm a HODLER but am down several thousand GBP.

Yep, I started at the beginning of 2014 as well and lost £££ so far.

Yeah, I don't even own a whole bitcoin.

Some guy presumably one of the developers offered to send me coins likes 3-4 years ago but I never took them for inventing this. He disappeared from the face of the earth though.

This is right the people who are sitting on their Bitcoin and have done since 2012-2014 have had plenty of chances to make extra income or of course lose some, if you get lucky as you did with NXT then you could have made more from that one investment than you could probably make from Bitcoin now, in fact i am pretty sure there are no more big winners here for waiting around.

Doesn't seem sensible to buy at 300-900 and sit on them hoping that the value is going to go up when more than likely it won't, i paid over the odds but i have traded all the way and if i was to sell now i would be profit.

Nowhere near the possible wealthy elite who was here in early on though i might add.

I bought in, sold half my coins after a %1500 runup, watched the remaining half lose about %1000 of their initial value, bought a few more, and I'm patiently waiting for the next runup.   Grin

Sure, I was lucky.  I called the market irrationally low when it crashed earlier and bought in, then called it irrationally high when WillyBot was doing its thing and sold before WillyBot crashed crashed it.

I didn't know how soon the runup was going to happen; I just considered it undervalued after a crash.  I didn't know empty-gox was running WillyBot.  I just saw the market going way over what I thought the sustainable valuation at that time should be.  So I got lucky a couple times. 

For what it's worth, I consider Bitcoin undervalued again at this time.  I'm reasonably confident there'll eventually be another runup as it seeks a fair price - and it'll probably overshoot and crash again. But I expect neither the overshoot nor the crash to be as extreme as it's been the last couple of times, because we're looking at more sophisticated investors now so the bigger money will be a little smarter, and more SEC/FBI involvement than before so the scammers will be getting arrested a lot and make off with a smaller bezzle.

Everyone maintains this hope. This forums members expect btc holders to act differently than other investors. This is a very odd dynamic and shows a lack of investing acumen. If you're holding an underperforming stock you sell it. You don't hold it for 20 years until you get your money back or lose it all. If you're holding real estate in a neighborhood that's turning for the worst you sell it. The same it true for every other type of investment. A few of us can afford to sit around and wait for the best price or lose it all because we started mining in 2010-2011 with GPUs and are sitting on a bunch of btc that cost us nothing. If you're sitting on btc for a year waiting for it to go up and have already lost money on it. You may want to look at other investments that could return your money faster. You can always buy back into btc when the price starts to increase.

For those who was in 2011 and talking Bitcoin here, yes, they are the wealthy elite now, for now for us who talking Bitcoin dropped from $1000, yes, we won't be elite after them.

Unfortunately, I too came after the ATH bubble burst in 2013, so I, along with any relative newcomers could be considered "Elite poor".   Cry

Hopefully, things turn around soon for us Elite bums...


same boat, i was here before the bitcoin boom to 1200, but too bad i was just starting to collect my first bitcoin(tnx to doge), so i couldn't sell anything at that time

Ahh the wealthy elite thread!  It always brings a grin to my face during this tough period of growth.

Knowing so many others are in the same boat, waiting for Bitcoin to develop...


To hell with waiting, I'm helping to make it happen Cheesy

www.incryptex.com

that website is bizonkers. i have literally never seen anything like that in my life. i didn't even know that was technically possible. did you guys hire freaking actors, photographers and cinematographers for the wallpaper of your website!?!?

Yes, we did Cheesy We are not another hobby company.

Could you tell us if it was under pain of death?

I'm a real loyal employee. Let's not find out, eh? There are a lot of things I might do to avoid my death. If it's me or you, It's you.

And I like you!  Grin

Just watched that Incryptex video once again.  Very slick site animation and cool video, Biomech!

Just tell those actors not to carry around 100 BTC on their mobile phones though!!!   Embarrassed

Wish I could go back to 2011 and buy some coins, that way I really could still be part of the new wealthy elite. These days it's more of a poor house, to be honest...
